Cornwall Day Eight(A Field of Daisies and The Fish and Chip Shop with no Fish)

What’s the most interesting local custom you’ve encountered?

Well in the Wilds of Cornwall, practicalities take over from grand gestures.

So “we have no fish as it’s Saturday night and we don’t open again until Thursday” seems quite rational to the village fish and chip shop..To angry from Essex, I’m not so sure.

Still this is the pace of life and why worry?I was next in the queue and was told “we have no fish”

but I said

” I just want chips”.

Smiles all around and lovely chips they were along with the free gravy as they had also ran out of curry sauce.

My partner loved the gravy so much he declined to share and he isn’t normally like that.We will have to go back for gravy and chips again.

Another custom I’ve noticed on the camp site is letting the meadow daisies have as long a life as possible.Once a camper has had their stay, they normally mow the grass. but when it’s quiet,the grass has a chance to grow and the daisies too.And very pretty they looked.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
